I'm still recovering from the fallout of changing video editors - I've been using Camtasia Studio for uhhhh my entire video creation career. You definitely can't expect anyone else to make those vital cuts and edits yourself. I think part of what drew me to Camtasia was the built in screen recorder. The process of getting everything into kdenlive is going to take me months, but switching to a free and open source editor will hopefully help me share and train more easily, and I've been doing so many cool things in real life that I'm not going to rely on the strong sfx options of a tool like premiere or DaVinci resolve. One technique that I started on is putting all my important clips into a single library, so that my most cultivated pieces of b-roll are right at my fingertips. I think more important than perfecting any AI tool is being able to put proof elements from my work on screen while I speak, not to mention getting testimonials. And the parts of my life that are more relevant to making that proof, I might use more often? 😀 pictured: some of the events staring at me inside my editor - this is from the little 5 points halloween parade in atlanta.

When it comes to events and turnout, I've hosted both great events—where people actually show up—and really bad events, where hardly anyone comes. You can tell far in advance which you're going to have because it's totally based on your priority in terms of your time and how many people you can personally invite. Even the best advertising on the planet, has limited effectiveness for event turnout. You can make whopping great Facebook ads or whatever, but if you don't really press with invite in the lead-up to the event, it's really going to be about who you're inviting and whether they trust what’s coming out of that invitation. People aren’t leaving their house for nothing. I've been to some fantastic events where the facilitator is a super connector, looking at who's coming. And inviting them in person / over the phone / by email. Those events go great! If you don't have SOMEONE on your team with that personal touch, then you won't see the same success.

leaving my video editing software! as i'm making more stuff on youtube, and also making training materials about my business life, it makes a lot more sense for me to use software that's open source and compatible with linux jumping through the hoops of adobe just isn't practical for everybody, i've also been using camtasia studio for years but it's also pricey and not on every platform. so, i'm gonna start converting to kdenlive, which is a very simplistic video editor. 😉 🫡

Launched a new community yesterday and a whopping fifty members have already hopped in. And events are coming in fast from users. Does this look perfect? No and it doesn't need to. :) Look at this poster. Creating material for an event isn't the same as writing an email to get someone to click on something for a purchase. Getting involved in an event online really is more of a gut check about whether you trust the people involved enough to show up.
